bottomless pools
Submerged Promises: Navigating Depths of Love in Faith Daack's 'Bottomless Pools'
Lyrics
And I'll sink to the bottom of your pool
Feeling like sinking into someone's emotional depths or vulnerabilities.
And when you promised you'd catch me
A belief or hope that the other person will support or protect.
I promised I'd never fall
A vow not to succumb to emotions or fall for someone.
We hang out in my room
Sharing intimate moments together in a private space.
Run through the streetlamps, yellow hues
Running through life together, experiencing its vibrant moments.
They think we're losers, we think we're cool
Perception differences between self-perception and others' opinions.
And don't ask me how I feel about you
Avoiding expressing emotions or feelings.
Don't know what to say, I never do
Difficulty articulating thoughts or emotions.
All I know is the bottom of your pool
A fixation or focus on the depth of the other person's emotions or complexities.
And just when I think that I'm gone forever I float back up to your surface level
Despite feeling lost, finding a way back to the surface of the relationship.
I'm not gone, but you're still here
An assertion of presence despite feeling emotionally distant.
And underneath your waves I can't see clear
Struggling to understand someone's emotional complexities.
And in an attempt to relieve the pressure
Trying to ease tensions or stress in the relationship.
We sneak out later and later
Engaging in risky behavior to escape or cope.
Ended the night with a nosebleed and a varsity letter
Ending the night with physical and emotional consequences.
So ask me how I feel about you I'll tell you I'm not anyone's fool
Refusal to be fooled or manipulated in the relationship.
All I know is the bottom of your pool
Reiterating a fixation on exploring the depths of the other person's emotions.
And I think that we scared your neighbors
Eliciting reactions from others due to unconventional behavior.
We're just kids, don't need no savior
Asserting independence or self-reliance despite being young.
I'm not gone, but you're still here
Feeling emotionally distant despite the other's presence.
And underneath your waves I can't see clear
Struggling to understand the other person's emotions clearly.
